The Dodge Colt and the similar '''Plymouth Champ''' and '''Plymouth Colt''', were Compact Cars sold by Dodge and Plymouth from 1970 to 1994 . After the Colt's demise, they were replaced by the Neon . They were Captive Import s from Mitsubishi Motors and, initially, were twins of the Mitsubishi Galant , before shifting to the Mitsubishi Mirage in 1979 .

The Plymouth Cricket nameplate was used on Galants from 1974 in Canada , after Chrysler pulled the plug on the unhappy Hillman Avenger -based model sourced from the UK.

The Plymouth Arrow was offered from 1976 to 1980 as a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste.

From 1979 , the Dodge Colt and Plymouth Champ nameplates applied to the Front Wheel Drive Mitsubishi Mirage imports into North America .

In 1989 , the Eagle Summit joined the array of nameplates describing a Mitsubishi Mirage, as did the '''Vista''' designation for tall wagon versions based on the Mitsubishi Chariot in 1984 . The Colt minivans/wagons continued until 1995 . The Colt minivans briefly took over from the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager as Dodge/Plymouth's entry-level minivans.
